  • Ok so I have seen 2 threads..One with tall girls and one with short girls...The taller girls was 5ft 10 and up and the shorter was 5ft 2 and up! SO what about us 5ft 4in or 5ft 5in girls!? lol....This thread is for us! What going on is your lives right now? What diet are you on? Whats the result? ANd what workouts are you doing?

    Lets get our post up to what the tall and short have done....Speak out medium height girls! lol...
  • 5'4 representin!!!!!!!!!! Well, right now I've been watching the calories and exercising. I just started jogging about three weeks ago, done 6 miles on Thursday and could hardly walk the next day(too much too quick) but I also do dvd's and ride my bike. I just have to be doing something!!
  • Yay to being a medium height!!

    I'm on a low-calorie diet right now. Really accounting for every morsel put in my mouth. That means sitting here on Fitday and plugging in every ingredient in the dishes I make and overestimating calories on foods eaten out if I don't know how many calories they contain. I'm also exercising everyday. That's a goal. I dance/do a video in the morning for an hour and in the evening play tennis or go for a 2-3 mile walk.

    I would say it's not working. I keep hovering between 166 and 165. I made a breakthrough last week with 164, but it's getting harder to drop the weight. Sigh.

    My biggest issue right now is keeping my cals at 1800 (my own goal). I was eating about 2300 before, so I thought I'd drop it by 500 to result in a 1 lb loss per week. That's not going so well. I'm trying not to get discouraged...

    This whole post sounded depressing, haha. I'm happy I'm keeping to my goal of eating fruits and veggies and whole grain carbs. I'm also happy I'm exercising everyday (accomplishing ONE of my goals), so it's going but slowly and I'm impatient.

    Ur in our group! Since short was 5ft 2 and tall was 5ft 10 and above! lol...Hows life?
  • Bah I thought I was 5'6" and found out I am 5'5" and I found that out when I ordered a few pair of jeans with a 32inch inseam and they are all too long lol. So I remeasured and it kept coming back as 5'5" lol.

    5'5" here..maybe I'm 5'5" and a half! hehe
  • Same here, Jacquie66. I always thought I was 5'6" and I recently measured and turns out I'm 5'5". Blah.
  • 5'7" here! Counting calories and trying to build a little muscle. So far, so good!
  • 5'3" here, do we count? Not exactly real short but not close to tall either, LOL
